NEW TOYS PROVIDE LOOK AT SPIDER-MAN’S HOMEMADE SUIT FROM CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR

The appearance of Spider-Man was one of the most anticipated and exciting aspects of last year’s Captain America: Civil War (now streaming on Netflix, if you haven’t seen it or need to watch again). After Sony struck out with its attempted reboot starring Andrew Garfield, the studio looked to Marvel for a life preserver, partnering up to produce a more faithful and popular cinematic version of the globally popular superhero.

We’ll see Marvel’s version of the friendly neighborhood web slinger this coming July in Spider-Man: Homecoming, but our first look at the yet-again-rebooted Spidey occurred inCivil War, notably during a scene in which Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark visited the new Peter Parker (Tom Holland) at his apartment in Queens. At that point in the story, Spider-Man was trying his best to be a crime-fighter, albeit with the budget of a high school kid. And he’s been discovered by Stark, who’s looking for new blood to recruit.

(Unfortunately, there’s not a great version of the scene to embed here, likely to avoid Marvel sending the copyright Avengers after YouTube users. But this clip is serviceable.)

Though Stark’s video is surveillance footage that doesn’t provide a great look, we do sneak a peek at Parker’s homemade Spider-Man costume, what he was suiting up in before getting the significant tech upgrade that he’ll receive from his new superheroic benefactor inSpider-Man: Homecoming.

The notable piece of Parker’s consignment ensemble was the goggles that emulated the signature Spider-Man eyes. This is actually an item that was teased nearly two years ago by directors Joe and Anthony Rizzo on Twitter while filming Civil War.
